چکیده

A. Reid [R] showed that if Γ1 and Γ2 are arithmetic lattices in G = PGL2(R) or in PGL2(C) which give rise to isospectral manifolds, then Γ1 and Γ2 are commensurable (after conjugation). We show that for d ≥ 3 and S = PGLd(R)/POd(R), or S = PGLd(C)/PUd(C), the situation is quite different: there are arbitrarily large finite families of isospectral non-commensurable compact manifolds covered by S. The constructions are based on the arithmetic groups obtained from division algebras with the same ramification points but different invariants.

Isospectral locally symmetric manifolds

In this article we construct closed, isospectral, non-isometric locally symmetric manifolds. We have three main results. First, we construct arbitrarily large sets of closed, isospectral, non-isometric manifolds. Second, we show the growth of size these sets of isospectral manifolds as a function of volume is super-polynomial. Finally, we construct pairs of infinite towers of finite covers of a...

Commensurability and virtual fibration for graph manifolds

Two manifolds are commensurable if they have diffeomorphic covers. We would like invariants that distinguish manifolds up to commensurability. A collection of such commensurability invariants is complete if it always distinguishes non-commensurable manifolds. Commensurability invariants of hyperbolic 3-manifolds are discussed in [NRe]. The two main ones are the invariant trace field and the inv...

Equivariant Spectral Triples

We present the review of noncommutative symmetries applied to Connes’ formulation of spectral triples. We introduce the notion of equivariant spectral triples with Hopf algebras as isometries of noncommutative manifolds, relate it to other elements of theory (equivariant K-theory, homology, equivariant differential algebras) and provide several examples of spectral triples with their isometries...

Commensurability of hyperbolic manifolds with geodesic boundary

Suppose n > 3, let M1,M2 be n-dimensional connected complete finitevolume hyperbolic manifolds with non-empty geodesic boundary, and suppose that π1(M1) is quasi-isometric to π1(M2) (with respect to the word metric). Also suppose that if n = 3, then ∂M1 and ∂M2 are compact. We show that M1 is commensurable with M2. Moreover, we show that there exist homotopically equivalent hyperbolic 3-manifol...

K-invariants of conjugacy classes of pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms and hyperbolic 3-manifolds

New invariants of 3-dimensional manifolds appearing in the Ktheory of certain operator algebras are introduced. First, we consider the conjugacy problem for pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms of a compact surface X. The operator algebra in question is an AF -algebra attached to stable (unstable) foliation of the pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphism. We prove that conjugacy classes of commensurable pseudoAno...
